Entrepreneurship is a Humbling Experience

I am a firm believer in fate. The bias may reflect from previous writings too. I just cannot turn away from it.

The period of establishing a small business is make or break, where you nurture the baby till you see it crawl to the outside world. When you stand in the marketplace alone, you realise that when the winds blow in your direction, you are lucky to experience your ideas and the ecosystem align and bear fruit to a desire. You could be standing there for a long time before the winds blow in your direction or the winds may never blow in your direction and you may just be standing there taking the heat and dust.

There is no guarantee that your product/service will sell, then again a great salesman once said "you can sell anything if you want to". MBA case studies, like hindsight, is 20/20, and what will go up tomorrow or what will come down is anyone's guess.

I'm glad there are people like Warren Buffett or Steve Jobs who stand for firm self belief which may create unprecedented extraordinary wonders.

This World is Governed by the Whims of the Few

No matter how we see it, but this world is run by the whims of those who have deep and strong intent and will, be it Heads of States, Corporations or Religious Institutions. The ambitious rise to positions where their will prevails, till they are replaced by someone whose desire today is stronger and deeper than their incumbents' has become. Everyone else is drifting, idling, feeling helpless/hopeless, living day-by-day. Which one is better, who am I to comment, but the recent stock market crash or rampant global terror isn't a natural phenomena, it is the collective intent of the few who assume power by sheer belief in themselves and the "correctness/righteousness/importance" of what they stand for.

In the country I reside, everyday that passes peacefully, it is the saints that must be making up for the chaos caused by the ambitious. There must be those whose intent and will are deep and strong but don't crave cash, following or media frenzy to balance out those who do.
